This love letter to New York City shows Democratic mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani walking through all five boroughs and celebrating the people and places that make it great. Zohran Mamdani has walked through the streets of New York City since he was a child, and at every crosswalk, there's something new to celebrate.
